IQ Power HLC Power Supply
& Control Station
5201259 Rev. D
2. DESCRIPTION
Simco-Ion’s IQ Power HLC Power Supply and Control Station provide
microprocessor controlled high voltage DC output to the static bar. High voltage
causes ionizing pins on the static bar to generate positive and negative ions. The
electric field from the static charge on material being processed will attract opposite
polarity ions from the static bar causing the material to be neutralized. Excess ions
will either recombine in air or dissipate to ground.
The IQ Power HL static bar is tailored to the application. Speed bars are optimized
to operate on high speed webs at distances of 50 to 230 millimeters [2 to 9 inches].
Hybrid bars operate at distances of 150 to 460 millimeters [6 to 18 inches] on webs
where the web path is somewhat variable.
The IQ Power HLC Power Supply is agency approved for mounting within
hazardous locations:
• Class I, Division 1, Group D
• Class II, Division 1, Groups F and G
• Class III, Division 1
The Control Station is a convenient hub that provides power and communication
for IQ Power or IQ Easy devices. Two-way digital communication provided by the
Control Station enables monitoring and logging of system performance, and allows
access to enhanced features in the static neutralization system. These enhanced
features include; manual control of ionization balance, Auto-Tune automatic control
of ionization balance and CLFB (Closed-Loop Feedback) providing the ultimate in
static eliminator control (use of the IQ Power HL Static Sensor is required).
All IQ Power optional modules use 8-conductor modular cable and RJ-45
connectors for connection to the IQ Power system. They are typically supplied
with 7 foot cable assemblies but longer lengths are available by calling Simco-Ion
customer service (800) 203-3419 (refer to Section 8, Parts & Accessories).
Features
• Easy calibration procedure simplifies set-up.
• Relay contact output “echoes” indicators for remote sensing and alarm.
• Control Station provides power and a communication hub for HLC Power
Supply.
• Control Station displays status of neutralizing system, power, service
required and detection of system faults.
• Optional static sensor for gathering web charge data (used in CLFB mode).
